Bio
Rolland was a novelist and essayist whose internationalist pacifism made him an important voice during and after the First World War. His writing defended intellectual independence and solidarity across national divisions. In 1919 he circulated the Declaration of the Independence of the Mind among fellow intellectuals. L’Ordine Nuovo’s first issue reprinted his essay La via che sale a spirale, with a source notice supplied in Issue 2.
